I've always loved the Rutan designs. Instead of taking a conventional design and modifying it to do the task adequately, he starts with the task and designs an original aerodynamic machine to do the task exceptionally.
For those who don't know what the score is:
SpaceShip One
Government Zero
Yeah, he's truly an aviation legend.
And now, a spaceflight legend.
Truly amazing what he did. I really wish I was there to see, but I'm a little too far away......[

Anyway, I content myself with just some videos of the event. Do you know where I can get some??
